MEMO 2025 I1

    Let R+\mathbb{R}^+ be the set of positive real numbers. Let f:R+→R+f: \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{R}^+ be a function such that for all x,y∈R+x, y \in \mathbb{R}^+ it holds that

    yf2025(x)≥xf(y).yf^{2025}(x) \geq xf(y).

    Show that there exists a positive integer n0n_0 such that for all positive integers n≥n0n \geq n_0 and for all x∈R+x \in \mathbb{R}^+ it holds that

    fn(x)≥x.f^n(x) \geq x.

    Remark. Here fnf^n denotes the function ff applied nn times, this means fn(x)=f(f(…f(x)…))⏟n times.f^n(x) = \underbrace{f(f(\ldots f(x) \ldots))}_{n \text{ times}}.
